In this powerful episode of Talking Hospitality by Schulering HUB, Mauricio Schuler sits down with Raquel Noboa, founder of Fifty Shades Greener, whose life changed forever on December 26th, 2004.
Raquel was managing a luxury island resort in the Maldives when the Indian Ocean tsunami struck. She survived, but was left with eco-anxiety that haunted her for years. Instead of turning away, she chose to transform that fear into a mission: to make sustainability simple, practical, and accessible for everyone in hospitality.
From starting as a room attendant with no English to leading Ireland’s first carbon-neutral hotel, Raquel shares:
This episode is not just about going green. It’s about leadership, culture, and turning sustainability standards into daily hotel operations that save money, reduce turnover, and build loyal guests.
🌱 If you believe hospitality has the power to shape a more sustainable future, this episode will inspire you to take action—starting today.
